Summary
A uniquely engaging text that introduces students to the essential ideas of moral philosophy
Description
In The Fundamentals of Ethics, Sixth Edition, author Russ Shafer-Landau employs a uniquely engaging writing style to introduce students to the essential ideas of moral philosophy. Offering more comprehensive coverage of the good life, normative ethics, and metaethics than any other text of its kind, this book also addresses issues that are often omitted from other texts, such as the doctrine of doing and allowing, the doctrine of double effect, ethicalparticularism, the desire-satisfaction theory of well-being, moral error theory, and Ross' theory of prima facie duties. Shafer-Landau carefully reconstructs and analyzes dozens of arguments in depth, at a levelthat is understandable to students with no prior philosophical background.
Critic Reviews
It provides a solid foundation of ethical concepts and reasoning in voice that invites consideration of various positions and systems of thought to fit any introductory ethics course.
